Today's Mystery Guest Cat: Shinobi
| Fri Oct. 16, 2009 4:10 PM PDT
It's Laura, dropping off Kevin and David's Friday Week-in-Review podcast, the latest mystery guest cat pic, and a public service announcement on marriage from MoJo blogger Kate Sheppard.
First, the podcast: Where is the GOP hiding all the other Olympia Snowes? What made Kevin decide (thus far) not to get a flu shot this year? And why does David think Glenn Beck still has his work cut out for him in Laura's home state of Tennessee? Listen to the latest Week-In-Review here.
PSA: If you're planning a wedding in Louisiana, here a few things to remember about the state marriage laws: Marriage at age 16? Ok! Interracial marriage to first cousin once removed? Maybe!
And congrats to Guest Cat #3, appearing balloon boy-free in Kevin's Drum Beat newsletter today and below. [For Kevin's newsletter-exclusive weekly bonus post and mystery cat news, sign up here.]
Reader MNPundit: Meet Shinobi, 6, and a total moron. He loves to run up to people and rub them or play fetch with bottle caps and hair ties. He also is addicted to licking plastic bags until he throws up, then running back to lick them again until we have to hide them. I did win the chess match against him though.

A "total moron"?

Is that any way to talk about an esteemed Feline-American?
Cat's are orders of magnitude smarter than humans. After all, dogs have masters. Cats have staff.
And I think I hear the boss calling.
Some special geek-level

Some special geek-level chess set where both sides are the same color?
Or, assuming he's color blind, it's a set just for cats with the pieces scented in mackerel and ham?

Looks like my cat "Boop" ...
The chess set is divided

The chess set is divided into "opaque" and "clear" pieces. Shinobi opened with "King's Gambit." It was a tough match.
For the record, he's not the master. Well he IS the master of my fiance, but not me. I simply struggle for dominance with him on a daily basis. The irony is now he craves my approval so he's nicer to me than to her. The other day he was whining to go outside all evening so my fiance put him outside. It was raining and he freaked out for about 15 seconds as the droplets hit him and rushed inside.
Once you hide the plastic bags though, he's a pretty good cat. He never scratches people or things, or has accidents. So if I have to live with a cat, it's going to be him.
best choice

The Ugg boots, if properly cared for, will last for many years, making it a good investment. The soft skin is actually leather and as such, the boot is not waterproof. A water-repellant product can be applied to the boot, but even this will not make the waterproof boots. The boot can be cleaned but not by immersing it into water. The boots must be cleaned by hand, using a cleaning product that is designed for use on sheep skin and dried naturally.
